Assessment report inaccuracies

Hello all... I've received a copy of my assessment report for PIP which i am overall pretty happy with as it suggests the about of points i was hoping for albeit not quite as I'd expected them to be awarded if that makes sense. My dilemma is that the assesor has written within my report that i gave up work in 2018 due to ill health.. This is not the case and I'm still working self employed part time as i have been for several years. We discussed the adaptions that had been made in order for me to continue working so I'm not sure where she got this idea from!.. Now I'm worried that the DWP will have the wrong information and if they check they will obviously see that im still working and it will look like ive lied to the assessor. Should i ring and point out that it's wrong?
Thanks for the advice. X

If the DVLA or the police were ever to see that report I would be in a load of trouble.
Mind you I suppose she put it down so as to justify that I have excellent physical and mental health capabilities.

Just pointing out that some assessors make up all sorts of comments that are lies. Sometimes probably wanting to turn a blind eye as it seems in the OP's case and in others to find some, any justification why an award should not be made.0

Reading these comments about assessors making things up about us, I'm beginning to wonder if they're just seeing so many people that they're just getting us mixed up.
If they complete some of their report up after seeing us I suppose it'll be easy for them to get confused.0 -

They see on a normal day 4 claimants. Of an 8 hour day that's 2 hours for each assessment and writing it up.
Most don't even write it up. They just pick phrases off their software and put it all together as a sentence.
They want to do some real work under real pressure.

Assessors do make things up. My assessor wrote that she watched me take my bag off over my head, put it down on the floor and pick it up again later. At no time did I take my bag off. I pointed this out in my appeal submission and I'm sure it helped to discredit the assessor. Assessors can defeat their own ends by telling lies.2

Don’t worry about the assessment report. My son’s first ever assessment report contained a lot of inaccurate information. E.g. they wrote that he could walk when I told them he cannot. And they spelled his name wrong too. All of this I pointed out during tribunal. Some of the numbers seemed too far fetched as well.1

Also if it is free typed then it is an intentional act to tell lies about things that never happened.
You only have to read what Matilda and April have posted above.
I will ignore the nonsense bit along with the name???

Let's be honest I know that all of your family's PIP reports were fine, but that doesn't mean to say that everyone else's is. You only have to read the many posts on this site to see that it is endemic with post after post referring to lies and in accuracies in the reports.
As for the content and how it is written, there can be no excuse for poor English in a document of this nature. It's not hard to put together a decent report that makes sense.
